Sugar Shack!

Posted March 5th, 2012 in montreal by Mitsy

Photo Challenges Day # 6 and #7 never quite happened. Drex got home yesterday evening. He gave us prizes, anyway. Sea salt caramel chocolates for me. Toy cars for the girls. We’re spoiled and we know it.

Today, we went to Sucrerie de la Montagne, a time-honored Quebec tradition known as a cabane à sucre or sugar shack. It’s an end-of-winter feast of traditional food― like pea soup, pickled beets, homemade ketchup, beans, sausages, bacon, omelettes, pancakes, and sugar pie. We ate at a long rough-hewn table while a folk duo played lively dance songs on fiddle and guitar. A dozen of our friends came to share the experience. It was awesome.

Merci to Ian, Hazel, and Molly Ann for these fantastic pictures from our afternoon!

    Last night we were talking about how I don’t consider where I’m from to be a permanent fact. Which is part of why I enjoy doing all the fun local things because I never know how long I’ll be in one place.

    So what I’m saying is yea for doing the fun local stuff!
